Nearly every port for the Wii U was subpar garbage. They threw out old games that were horribly optimized to "test" the waters of reception and then pulled out completely when the games bombed. If someone actually spent time, money and effort on a proper port, it may have done better. But the Wii U had horrible brand recognition and marketing and came at the wrong time, so it was an uphill battle from the start.

People are delusional if they think that Nintendo Switch will do well without proper AAA 3rd party support, not just side projects and leftovers. I think we may be lucky enough to get it since the major 3D engines are supported and that makes porting so much easier.

and you think the situation is gonna be different now how? Its not like the Switch will run the games just as well on the PS4 xbone anyway. And those Wii U ports werent bad, hell PS3 had some worse ports and late games and those still did well. A main COD game not even selling half a mil because it didnt get DLC (most people dont buy DLC anyway) is nonsense

There we some garbage ports (mainly EA) but I 99.99% agree with all you said. Most efforts put out on WiiU were pretty good efforts by 3rd parties for what the Wii U could do.

COD my friend and I still play it on the Wii U when he visits me from another state. Why? because it has the gamepad ad we can sit and chat and have our own screens whilst we play against each other. 

The small frame rate issues (which even PS4 had) or worst gfx or missing DLC never even bothered us.
